Black Mesa: Source

Black Mesa Source: Official Trailer

.
/* */
That is a MOD for Half-Life 2. A MOD! It looks professional!

For those who don't know, Black Mesa Source is a total remake of the original Half-Life, in the Source engine. Basically, Half-Life 1 with good graphics (and other minor differences).

The game will be completely free (You are required to have at least one source engine game to play it. Portal, TF2, HL2, CSS, L4D, Ect.). God I can't wait until this thing comes out. It looks so godly.

--------------------------------
Also, another great Half Life 2 Mod (Which is actually already out):

Empires.

That game is so great, it's not even funny. I seriously play this game too much. I've been playing this game since 2.0 (which was released more than a year ago), and it's still just as much fun. And, again, it's also a MOD. So, like BlackMesa Source you need a Source game to play it, but otherwise it's completely free.

PS: My name on Empires (and Steam) is Kill3rTomatoNG. So say hi or something if you ever see me (:
(I'm also not part of either of these mods, although I am a tester for Empires ;p)

so freaking awesome

Wurmy 2008-12-04 19:57:48

I KNOW, I can't wait until it comes out :DD

ThAntagonist 2008-12-04 20:15:47

to bad I have to wait for 09, if not more.

Wurmy 2008-12-04 20:15:47

Very very bad :((

mrwinneranimator 2008-12-04 20:16:49

Now they need to do opposing force source >:D

Wurmy 2008-12-04 20:16:49

Never played it, although I want to..

skarai 2008-12-04 20:21:58

Yup. One of the things I really look forward to.
I wonder what they have done with the ending though...

Wurmy 2008-12-04 20:21:58

Me too.. I wonder if .. well I'll not spoil anything if anybody here hasn't finished the original HL1 (:

cHunter 2008-12-04 20:41:46

BM:S looks fucking delicious. I can't wait. :3

Wurmy 2008-12-04 20:41:46

Me neither :3

Griffonzo 2008-12-04 20:43:30

I kept an eye on this mod for so long since 2007, and they have been making slow and steady progress, but this epic trailer shows the awesomeness they've been doing, I CANT WAIT.

Wurmy 2008-12-04 20:43:30

I can't wait either C:

Maplekage 2008-12-04 21:08:56

just pissed my pants because of the epicness.

Wurmy 2008-12-04 21:08:56

:D!

TheUnknownEntity 2008-12-04 21:09:39

Black Mesa: Source.... damn, that's something to look forward to eh?

Wurmy 2008-12-04 21:09:39

Very (:

LilDwarf 2008-12-04 23:39:54

Wouldn't that be like Half Life Source?

Wurmy 2008-12-04 23:39:54

No, Half Life Source is the exact same game as the original Half Life (graphics included), just on the Source Engine.

PostTimeskipSam 2008-12-05 00:54:12

Holy Crap, I bet you Valve is going to do something about this advertise it or something because that is a kick ass trailer can't wait for it to be released. I heard it also has Co-Op.

Wurmy 2008-12-05 00:54:12

Oohh co-op would be awesome. I don't know though. I'd be happy with singleplayer (:

RubberNinja 2008-12-05 04:42:57

Yeah I saw that. It looks amazing for a free MOD. I can't wait for them to finish it. Valve will probably buy the game from them eventually like they did with Garry's Mod.

Wurmy 2008-12-05 04:42:57

Technically, Garry's Mod wasn't bought out by Valve, Garry Newman (sp?) still works on it, although it's sold on Steam. Something along those lines <_<

And I wouldn't want Valve to sell it.. that would mean I would have to buy it D:
Although I would.. I definitely would..

Joel8160 2008-12-05 04:49:50

Wait?! I thought that the Black mesa: Source team said that they were gonna charge about 10 bucks a chapter of Black Mesa: Source?
Are you absolutely sure that it is free?
And by the way, is it released yet?

Wurmy 2008-12-05 04:49:50

They did? That's a stupid idea.
And not only is it stupid, it's completely illegal for them to sell anything that they made using the Source Engine, unless they have a license from Valve (or something like that ;p)

luka 2008-12-05 06:56:56

I always thought they scraped it because it's been a while but it's still here and it's better than ever and mostly of all, coming out soon!

Wurmy 2008-12-05 06:56:56

So happy :D

HrMorgaes 2008-12-05 08:25:29

Can't wait for BM:S, also I hope they will include Adrian Sheperds pipe wrench in the game.

Hell, Opposing Force Source (hurr durr rhyme) sounds like a great idea as well

Wurmy 2008-12-05 08:25:29

God I want to play Opposing Force.. :C

BlackPT 2008-12-05 09:07:22

Jeez, I just sign up on the site a week a go and now this? WH@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@T?

Also, the new design rockz

Wurmy 2008-12-05 09:07:22

Yes it does C:

Mazrix 2008-12-05 10:52:45

I just came when I saw that. Need... NAOW!

Wurmy 2008-12-05 10:52:45

NAU!

MindChamber 2008-12-05 12:35:43

OH MAN fuck yes.. as one of the people who were introduced to the Halflife universe because of Portal, I was completed blown away and awestruck my halflife2 when I finally came around to it, and felt so out of the loop of such an incredible game, I love HL2 to death and was always envious of the people who where with halflife from the beginning,. If HL2 was able to hit me with such impact, imagine what its doing to the fans that followed it religiously from the beginning??

Hopefully now I can get a chance to taste that, even if Im late to the game.

amen.

Wurmy 2008-12-05 12:35:43

:D
You should buy the original Half Life, the graphics fail horribly (they work ;p) but the game is still fun. Which reminds me, I actually kind of feel like playing it now c:

Smashedsmurf 2008-12-05 15:59:34

Actually, you need Half-Life 2 and Counter Strike: Source.

Why would you need TF2 and not anything else for it to work? HL2 Mods don't work like that.

Also, if this ever comes out I'll laugh, they've been working on it forever.

Wurmy 2008-12-05 15:59:34

Yes, you can use TF2, Portal etc.. They all use the Source Engine, which is what this uses. And since all of the models/textures/levels/etc.. is custom for Black Mesa, you can use any Source Game (ie, you wont need HL2 for textures/models). Same thing for Empires.

Trust me, I know what I'm talking about c:

ben-pasko 2008-12-05 16:05:36

ooh, ooh, will they make the toryline intelligeble? That's one thing about hl1, the entire game was like "WTF!!?!??! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?!?!" I prefered blue shifts story, I actually understood it. I CANT WAIT!!!!

Wurmy 2008-12-05 16:05:36

I think HL1 was geared more towards shooting things rather than the story, but who knows :o

mrpibbs1 2008-12-05 16:55:08

Awesome

Wurmy 2008-12-05 16:55:08

Very
